      Thank you! I’ve missed everything this past week except for a few downed airplanes to be happy about. Now that there is AI, it should be quite easy, by the way, to build a service that summarizes the most important events of the week in the war.

      1. MXT

        Well, it would probably work, the question is whether it includes everything and understands how to prioritize (and not hallucinate).

        ChatGPT (4o) on the question: 

        “Give me the 10-15 most important events of the past week regarding the war in Ukraine.”

        Here are the 10-12 most significant events from the past week in the war in Ukraine:

        1. US halts some weapons shipments – American authorities paused deliveries of, among other things, Patriot and Hellfire missiles to Ukraine, causing concern in Kiev over increased Russian air attacks aljazeera.comapnews.com+6aljazeera.com+6apnews.com+6.

        12. Internal Russian repression continues – High-profile corruption convictions in Russia (e.g. against Timur Ivanov) show that the Kremlin continues to combat criticism and corruption internally .

        Not bad, on an overall level.
        Rephrasing the question:

        “Give me the 10-15 most important events of the past week regarding more “tangible” events in the war in Ukraine, such as successful combat operations from both sides, for example, destroyed combat vehicles, shot down fighter jets, but also factories or infrastructure hit.”

        • Massive Russian air attack
          Russia conducted its largest coordinated air attack yet with over 500 drones and various types of missiles. Ukraine managed to shoot down the majority, but several cities like Kremenchuk, Lviv, and Zaporizhzhia were hit. An F-16 plane was shot down during the operation, and the pilot perished.

        • Ukraine strikes Russian airbase in Volgograd
          Ukrainian drones hit the Marinovka airbase deep inside Russia, destroying at least two Su-34 fighter jets. Several more were injured in the attack.

        • Drone attack on factory in Izhevsk
          A Ukrainian long-range drone struck a Russian defense factory in Izhevsk, over 1000 kilometers from the front line. At least three were killed, and the factory, which produces air defense systems, was heavily damaged.

    USA – the budget
    It seems impossible to obtain credible information even about the budget. Wasn’t it already voted through?
    Or does it need to pass both the Senate and the House?

    Impressive of Trump to threaten the Republicans who are against it, truly statesmanlike!
    But shouldn’t he step it up? Maybe threaten them with deportation? *irony*

    “Donald Trump is raging on Thursday morning, Swedish time, over his budget proposal “Big beautiful bill” still not being voted through by Congress.

    “What are the Republicans waiting for? What are you trying to prove?” Trump writes on Truth Social. He warns the small group of Republicans who still haven’t voted for the proposal that it will cost them votes in future elections.

    Votes and debates on the budget proposal have been ongoing in the American Congress for several days, despite the Republicans having a majority of their own.”

      Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves started crying during the weekly interrogation in the House of Commons on Wednesday. There is speculation that the tears were due to a rift in Reeves’ relationship with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, after the government chose to deviate from Reeves’ budget proposal in a welfare reform, BBC writes.

      https://omni.se/a/qPo4em

      Apparently, it’s not only Trump who has problems with the budget, Starmer also has problems with both the budget and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

    An American command ship, known as a “floating Pentagon,” is visiting Stockholm, several media outlets report.

    The ship has been participating in exercises in the Baltic Sea for a month, where military personnel from 16 NATO countries have been practicing defending themselves against Russian aggressions. During the exercise, there were several flyovers of the ship by Russian air forces.

    “Ukraine has unveiled the POP Fly — a multifunctional drone similar to the Switchblade. It can perform recon or strike missions with swappable cameras or warheads. Range: 100–120 km (recon) or 50–100 km (strike, 2.5–5 kg payload).”

    I asked the following question to ChatGPT and Perplexity:
    Does the American military answer to the constitution or the president?

    I received the following answer from ChatGPT:
    The American military primarily answers to the constitution, not the president.
    Explanation:
    All members of the US military swear an oath to uphold and defend the United States Constitution. Therefore, the constitution is the highest authority, not a person – not even the president.

    The oath goes something like this:
    “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…”

    The President’s role:
    The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces according to the constitution (Article II, Section 2), which means the military is supposed to obey lawful orders from the president.
    However:
    If an order from the president contradicts the constitution or is illegal, it is the military’s duty not to follow it. This is sometimes referred to as “the duty to disobey unlawful orders”.

    Perplexity:
    Ultimately, the American military answers to the constitution, but in practice, it is subordinate to the president who is the Commander-in-Chief.

    The US constitution is the supreme law and establishes that power is divided among the executive branch (the president), the legislative branch (Congress), and the judicial branch (Supreme Court). The President holds executive power and is also the military’s highest commander. This means the president can make decisions regarding military operations, deploy troops, and unilaterally decide on the use of nuclear weapons.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it ChatGPT that is correct when looking at their respective first sentences?

    1. MXT

      I suspect that this may be a language mistake:
      “The American military ultimately answers to the constitution, but in practice it is subordinate..”
      AIn may have meant that when the military is making its assessment, it is ultimately the constitution that decides.
      Try to reformulate the question and see if you get a different answer.

      1. MacMelmac

        I will test it, but I don’t think much of Perplexity’s excellence. Copilot responds the same as ChatGPT, but that’s not surprising.

        Will AI crap also become polarized?

    How many billions Trump is good for has long been a disputed question. He himself has claimed to have assets of more than 10 billion dollars, but the complicated ownership structure of his family business makes it difficult to confirm. As president, he must disclose certain assets, such as crypto and stock holdings.

    The figures show that he has around 2.2 billion dollars in stocks, funds, and cash, 1.3 billion dollars in real estate and other business assets, and a whopping 7.1 billion in cryptocurrencies. Trump.

    https://omni.se/a/5EagKW

    The fact that a head of state has 70% of their assets in a currency other than their own can be considered remarkable.

    We probably should not underestimate the signaling value, and the American dollar has depreciated significantly in value recently.

    This may benefit the American export industry, counteract imports, and lead to lower interest rates, which positively affects the American economy. Similar to when Sweden devalued its currency in the years 1976, 1977, 1981, and 1982, and when it abandoned the defense of the Swedish krona in 1992.

    A lower valued dollar also means that the national debt becomes lower compared to the rest of the world. A large part of the treasury bills are held by American pension funds, etc., and a smaller part by foreign actors. Americans become poorer, but it doesn’t show in the wallet as long as they stay in the country and buy domestic products.

    And of course, a lower dollar value benefits Trump’s own currency and serves as a loophole for shady transactions.

    1. MacMelmac

      How does this affect the average American when they go grocery shopping? We can see for ourselves that food prices, which rose earlier, are not decreasing as quickly, they tend to remain (apart from seasonal items) at the high prices. Then when our real wages catch up, we hope that they have not risen as much again. The question is whether it will become cheaper again?

      I have seen countless Youtube videos showing how ridiculously expensive food is in several states in the USA. Now, most of these are semi- and ready-made products, so it’s more expensive than cooking from scratch, but over $12 for 18 eggs, almost $10 for a frozen ready-made pizza, or over $9 for 0.5 kg of stew meat, or over $7 for 1kg of apples!
      Of course, one should take this with a grain of salt, but there are too many different videos from too many different places in too many different stores for it not to be cherry-picking. Something is not right!

      1. Westley Richard

        The egg prices in the USA have been used as a weapon in the political debate, they rose sharply due to bird flu and are on their way down again. Trump blamed Biden for not laying enough eggs, in Sweden, egg prices have fluctuated between 2 and 4 SEK per egg depending on flu outbreaks.

        In Sweden, there was some form of “popular” uprising against the high food prices a few months ago. People were going to boycott the major retailers because the increased food prices were due to the local ICA store owner planning to switch to a newer Ferrari. The campaign was right for those who want class struggle and can be seen as a starting point for the election campaign. The real reason for the rise in food prices is still shrouded in mystery, but one should not overlook more regulations, laws, increased feed prices, seed, fertilizers, and logistics are behind some of it, things that are to some extent decided by politicians. Of course, the low currency also plays a role.

        I don’t know if everyone at ICA has bought a new Ferrari now that prices haven’t gone down noticeably.

        However, one cannot ignore that COOP is not making any profit but is threatened with bankruptcy. This company, which has lots of retired politicians and union members in leadership, apparently cannot run a company where competitors hand out Ferraris to everyone.

        I don’t know how much a frozen pizza costs in the USA, we have to look at the Big Mac index and according to that, a Big Mac costs the same amount in USD in the USA and Sweden.

        We can rejoice that the price of coffee is going down.

        1. MacMelmac

          There is a website where you can check the numbers of the ICA stores.
          https://ica.jensnylander.com/

          It becomes ridiculous when people complain about ICA stores in general when most of them have a margin of 4-6%, but paying 12% in VAT is okay.
          But there are always bad apples who exploit the whole thing.

          Coop is a damn joke, heard on Studio 1 about Coop and why they have problems, local associations in the country against the management in Stockholm. Let the crap die if they can’t handle the competition.

          1. Westley Richard

            The retailers’ margin is about the same size as the food waste that we as consumers are responsible for by throwing away food.

            There is also a large amount of waste at the producers, half of all strawberries grown, for example, are not picked because consumers happily pay 200 SEK/kg by midsummer but are only willing to pay a fraction of this for the rest of the summer. 

             

      1. Westley Richard

        Interesting reflection. 

        Do you mean that cryptocurrencies should be included in the total money supply for the dollar?

        I don’t think the Federal Reserve would consider that a good idea, their view is probably that these cryptocurrencies are worse than other currencies linked to the dollar, they at least have a central bank helping to defend their value.

    Lock them up and throw away the key!

    “Estonia’s Harju County Court has found two Moldovan citizens guilty of setting fire to the Slava Ukraini restaurant in Tallinn. The attack was ordered by Russian special services. According to the investigation, the crime was commited by the two men Ivan Chihaial (born 1992) and his namesake Ivan Chihaial (born 1987) — linked to the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), state broadcaster ERR reported.”

    Jonas Trolle, who yesterday took office as the new head of the Swedish Crime Prevention Council (Brå), supports the Social Democrats’ criticized proposal to mix people in residential areas.

    Subsidized housing in affluent areas can ultimately reduce crime, believes Trolle, who also suggests the possibility of demolishing parts of the million program housing.

    Reducing crime is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Crime thrives in certain vulnerable areas, and the police often struggle to reach the population as some criminal groups have taken over the role of law enforcement authorities, and the residents in these areas are afraid to have contact with the police, social services, etc. A majority in these areas are law-abiding with lower incomes; many want jobs and to be self-sufficient, while others already are.

    Subsidized housing in affluent areas already exists, with 10% of newly built rental apartments allocated to social services to be distributed to individuals/families receiving social assistance.

    Unfortunately, the problems start there. Social services often select families where crime rates are high instead of families with a high chance of integrating into Swedish society. The idea of social services is to break their social circles, leading to lower crime rates in the vulnerable areas. The issue is that crime rates do not decrease in these areas as gang leaders often recruit new individuals to sell drugs, etc., in the vulnerable area.

    However, crime rates increase significantly in the more affluent areas as social services suddenly fill a stairwell with individuals with some form of criminal history.

    Crime continues as long as these individuals receive social assistance, decreasing gradually as they move out and are replaced by non-criminal individuals. Where those with a criminal past go is unclear, but it is clear that they move when social assistance ends.

    Authorities often showcase examples of decreased crime rates in an area but rarely provide an explanation as to why, especially not acknowledging their indirect contribution to the increase.

    Politicians often take the easy way out when trying to solve problems. In my municipality, there is a significant investment in building playgrounds in vulnerable areas. These areas have the best and most beautiful playgrounds, unfortunately often used to hide drugs and sometimes even weapons as the local authorities in these areas have control. There are also luxury apartments being built, too expensive for an average Swede, usually occupied by those who already live in the area and have somehow earned money to move in.

    Even though I do not live in a vulnerable area myself, I have some insight as I am involved in using sports to provide children with a meaningful and non-criminal leisure time, and also assist with organized homework help for children in these areas. This initiative is supported by the police but receives no financial support from the municipality or authorities, relying entirely on support from private individuals and companies.

    Our annual budget is roughly one twentieth of the cost of building a new residential building. We reach about 1000 young people and likely make a significantly greater impact.

    Crime and vulnerable areas are too complex to simply build away the problems. Perhaps it is time to shift focus to where success can be achieved while setting boundaries for what can be tolerated. There are millions of people living in vulnerable areas, with tens of thousands more or less involved in criminal activities. Let’s support those who want to improve while limiting those who do not, and stop rewarding them.

    Building away the problems is not the solution.

    2. MacMelmac

      The most pathetic thing is that S called SD Stockholm various epithets when they wanted to tear down suburban areas and spread out the population across the country. Now that S has turned around and has ALWAYS thought this way, Tidö thinks it’s a crappy idea.

      I can’t handle it!

      The problem is if we let it be, these areas will become even worse. It’s not like Little Italy or China Town where the police still have a monopoly on violence.
      The examples I have seen that have been good are from the 60s, 70s, and 80s when immigrants moved to Swedish villages and learned a lot about Sweden and the language. This was after they had repaid the loan they received when they came here. But we don’t want that either.
      Then the third option is to close the border, which I think will result in our elderly parents getting overwhelmed with crap, because, among other things, that type of work is too beneath us Swedes to do.

      It’s not easy, otherwise someone would have already found a solution.

      One can start by setting requirements and demanding reciprocity to a greater extent. Do your duty, demand your right. Only in that order!
      (This applies to everyone in Sweden)

      Important fact:

      Jake Sullivan did far more for Ukraine than the entire Trump administration— and its supporters— combined.

      – Biden/Sullivan: $54.2B in security aid to Ukraine
      – Trump: $0

      Jake Sullivan was far from perfect. But let’s be honest:

      He did far more for Ukraine than anyone in the Trump administration— and anyone supporting it.

      Results matter more than rumors, rhetoric, or vibes.

      – Under Biden and Sullivan: $54.2B in security aid
      – Under Trump: $0

      Under Sullivan as National Security Advisor:
      ✅ $54.2B in military aid to Ukraine
      ✅ No talk of stopping aid
      ✅ No pressure on Ukraine to accept a bad deal
      ✅ Sanctions on russia
      ✅ Clear messaging on who started the war

      Compare that to Trump and his team:
      ❌ No new aid to Ukraine
      ❌ Promised Biden aid paused
      ❌ No new sanctions on russia
      ❌ Constant pressure on Ukraine
      ❌ No pressure on russia
      ❌ Can’t even say russia is at fault
      ❌ The Oval Office incident
      ❌ Called Zelensky a dictator

      Sullivan may have overdone ”escalation management,” and criticism is fair.

      But pretending Trump’s team is better for Ukraine is pure fantasy.

      You can’t support an administration doing 1000x less— and then bash the one that actually delivered, even if imperfectly

      Support Ukraine? Then judge by actions, not slogans.

      Sullivan wasn’t perfect. But under him, Ukraine got real support.

      Under Trump? Zero.

      Results > rhetoric and rumors

      2. Westley Richard

        Sullivan was a stumbling block that constantly set limitations for Ukraine and allowed Russia to build up its capacity. If there had been someone else in that position, the war would be over by now.

        That he was better than Trump is just pathetic, and then you have chosen the worst possible yardstick.

        2. CB500four

          Well, Sullivan had the handbrake on, but Trump pulled in reverse.

          Sullivan and Biden helped Ukraine stay afloat, while Trump turns his back and throws the lifebuoy to Putin instead.

    3. 205

      Tataragami
      “Sullivan may be among the least popular figures in the Biden administration among Ukrainians, but he played a central role in securing artillery ammo from South Korea and worked extensively with allied governments to coordinate the delivery of various military equipment:

      By contrast, the Trump administration has yet to initiate any new military assistance. Thus far, it has merely allowed aid packages passed by Congress in 2024 to proceed – though even those previously approved shipments have been stopped or returned back several times.

      I have great respect for Meaghan and believe she is doing all she can to support Ukraine. Still, objectivity matters. Compared to the current administration, Jake Sullivan comes off as a hardline Ukraine hawk.“

    Ammunition depots of Russian occupiers in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region were hit

    As part of efforts to reduce the enemy’s offensive capabilities, on the night of 3 July, units of the Security Service of Ukraine, in cooperation with other components of the Defence Forces, struck Russian occupiers’ ammunition depots in the Velykyi Orikhiv area in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region.

    The target was successfully hit. A powerful secondary detonation was recorded, the nature of which indicates explosions of anti-aircraft guided missiles and ammunition for multiple launch rocket systems.

    The results of the fire damage are being clarified.

    The defence forces continue to take measures to undermine the offensive potential of the Russian occupiers and force the Russian Federation to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine.

    An important object of the enemy’s military-industrial complex has been hit

    As part of efforts to reduce the offensive capabilities of the Russian aggressor’s armed forces, on the night of 3 July, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, in cooperation with other components of the Defence Forces, carried out a fire strike on AO Energia (Yelets, Lipetsk Region, Russian Federation), which is engaged in the serial production of batteries and accumulators for the Russian Federation’s armed forces.

    In particular, for universal gliding and correction modules. This is a Russian development that converts conventional free-falling aircraft bombs into gliding bombs with increased accuracy and range.

    In addition, this military-industrial complex enterprise manufactures batteries and accumulators for Iskander-M operational-tactical missile systems, X-35U sea-based cruise missiles, and power modules for specialised systems.

    Explosions have been reported on the factory premises. Production has been halted.

    The results of the fire damage are being clarified.

    The defence forces continue to take measures to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian occupiers and force the Russian Federation to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine.

        Once we deliver, we have provided them with a kill switch!

        Before each firing, they must contact the Swedish Peace via an encrypted link to obtain a shooting permit, if they do not respond, it is up to the Left Party’s office to make the assessment! 😂

    Russian advance slowed down in June.

    According to our data, over the month of June, the Russian Armed Forced captured 423 square kilometers of Ukraine. This is down from 538 square kilometers captured in May.

    Russian pace of advance is currently similar to late summer 2024.

    Johan, have you pre-ordered the book?

    “After the assassination attempt on Donald Trump during the election campaign, the presidential candidate received calls from unexpected quarters, according to a new book.

    The book “2024: How Trump retook the White House and the Democrats lost America” will be released next week and provides a detailed account of the events, based in part on interviews with Trump himself.

    – It was bleeding like hell. They thought I had four or five bullets in me because there was so much blood, says Trump in the book, according to an excerpt published by the Washington Post.”

      Sounds like an interesting book, not exactly uplifting reading, though, I suppose.

      A bit of Game of Thrones in a modern setting, now the Democrat Ned Stark has just lost his head.

    “The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on Donald Trump’s budget package later this afternoon, but Democratic minority leader Hakeem Jeffries is doing everything to delay the vote with a so-called filibuster, CNN reports.

    By 3:30 p.m., Jeffries had been speaking for four hours. He stands at the lectern and shares stories from Americans who will be affected by the cuts in Trump’s package. He speaks slowly, takes long pauses between words, and Democratic members of the chamber occasionally rise in long ovations.

    When Jeffries finishes his speech, Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to give a much shorter address before the House votes to finally approve Trump’s bill.”

        If they vote no, Trump will probably become more red than orange.

        So far, he has gotten everything he wanted, but it seems there are some brave Republicans who defy him, they will surely soon be visited by Maga extremists if they do not give in.

    The former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is considering creating a new party to challenge his old one from the left flank. This is reported by The Guardian. The party would focus on poverty, equality, and a foreign policy that “is based on peace rather than war.” Corbyn was suspended from Labour by party leader Keir Starmer in 2020, and over the past year has formed a more informal alliance with left-wing members of parliament outside of Labour.

    The old Labour leader wants the UK to stop supporting the UA and to leave NATO.
    A true friend of Putin.

      The Independent. The governing party receives around 24 percent in a new Ipsos poll, which is one of the sharpest declines ever in British politics. Party leader Keir Starmer’s personal approval ratings are the lowest for a prime minister with a year on the job since the polls began.

      The right-wing populist Reform UK receives 29 percent, making it the largest party.

      There is an election in four years unless Starmer calls for an early election, which he is unlikely to do with the current support.

    Trump is calling his Kremlin buddy again today, I read on Iltalehti. It’s officially the 6th time they’ve talked since Trump took office.

    I assume the agenda includes:

    – What does Putin think about Trump’s involvement in the Ukraine issue?

    – How much is Putin willing to pay Trump for easing sanctions?

    – Can Putin provide advice and possible assistance in removing the Fed chief?, and in threatening and neutralizing rebellious Republicans.

    – Other advice regarding power takeover and elimination of disloyal employees.

    Haha. There may be some truth in the dialogue. The two souls probably do not meet. Putin is only interested in national honor and greatness, and Trump is only interested in money.
